Manqoba Mngqithi opens up about Appollis

Mngqithi shows admiration for Appollis in the tweet below:

According to iDiski Times, Mngqithi admires Appollis but is unsure if the player will join the club, which has spent over R194 on four top players in recent transfer windows.

Mngqithi said:

"It will be important to get a player like that if an opportunity avails itself, but I don't think it will avail itself because I know Esperance was interested in him and couldn't get hold of him, so I wouldn't want to talk much about something, that this stage is immaterial for me."
